NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
March 31, 1998
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
DEFINITION OF SPECIAL TERMS:
Capitalized terms used in this report have the same meaning as those terms have
in the Partnership's Registration Statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on Form S-11. Definitions of these terms are contained in
Article III of the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership,
which is included in the Registration Statement and incorporated herein by
reference.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Partnership utilizes the accrual
method of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and
expenses are recorded when incurred.
Preparation of the Partnership's financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
The financial information included in these financial statements is unaudited;
however, in management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of only normal,
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations for the periods included have been made. Results of operations for
the three months ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the year ending December 31, 1998.
Commercial rental property is recorded at cost, net of any provisions for value
impairment, and depreciated (exclusive of amounts allocated to land) on the
straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Lease acquisition fees are
recorded at cost and amortized over the life of the lease. Repair and
maintenance costs are expensed as incurred; expenditures for improvements are
capitalized and depreciated over the estimated life of such improvements.
The Partnership evaluates its commercial rental property for impairment when
conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of
expected future cash flows (undiscounted) is less than its carrying basis. Upon
determination that an impairment has occurred, the carrying basis is reduced to
its estimated fair value. Management was not aware of any indicator that would
result in a significant impairment loss during the periods reported.
Property sales are recorded when title transfers and sufficient consideration
has been received by the Partnership. Upon disposition, the related costs and
accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the respective
accounts. Gains on sales are recognized in accordance with GAAP.
Cash equivalents are considered all highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less when purchased.
Investments in debt securities are comprised of corporate debt securities and
are classified as held-to-maturity. These investments are carried at their
amortized cost basis in the financial statements, which approximated fair
value. All of these securities had maturities of less than one year when
purchased.
Reference is made to the Partnership's annual report for the year ended
December 31, 1997, for a description of other accounting policies and
additional details of the Partnership's financial condition, results of
operations, changes in Partners' capital and changes in cash balances for the
year then ended. The details provided in the notes thereto have not changed
except as a result of normal transactions in the interim or as otherwise
disclosed herein.
2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, as compensation for services
rendered in managing the affairs of the Partnership, the General Partner shall
be entitled to receive subsequent to May 4, 1988, the Termination of the
Offering, a Partnership Management Fee payable annually within 60 days
following the last day of each fiscal year, which shall be an amount equal to
the lesser of (i) 0.5% of the net value of the Partnership's assets as of the
end of such fiscal year reflected on the Certificate of Value furnished to the
Limited Partners, plus, to the extent the Partnership Management Fee paid in
any prior year was less than 0.5% of the net value of the Partnership's assets
in such prior year, the amount of such deficit, or (ii) an amount equal to the
difference between 10% of the Partnership's aggregate Cash Flow (as defined in
the Partnership Agreement) for the period from the Commencement of Operations
to the end of the fiscal year for which such Partnership Management Fee is
payable, and the aggregate amount previously paid to the General Partner as a
Partnership Management Fee. In addition, Sale Proceeds are distributed: first,
75% to all Limited Partners and 25% to the General Partner until the earlier of
(i) receipt by Limited Partners of cumulative distributions of Sale Proceeds in
an amount equal to 100% of their Original Capital Contribution, or (ii) receipt
by the General Partner of cumulative distributions of Sale Proceeds sufficient
to repay the Loan (as defined hereafter), until the outstanding balance of the
Loan has been repaid; thereafter, to the Limited Partners, until they have
received cumulative distributions of Sale Proceeds in an amount equal to 100%
of their Original Capital Contribution, plus an amount (including Cash Flow (as
defined in the Partnership Agreement)) equal to a cumulative return of 6% per
annum simple interest on their Capital Investment from their investment date in
the Partnership; thereafter, 85% to all Limited Partners; and 15% to the
General Partner, provided, however, that no distribution of the General
Partner's 15% share of Sale Proceeds shall be made until Limited Partners have
received the greater of (i) Sale Proceeds plus Cash Flow (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement) previously received in excess of the Preferred Return
equal to 125% of the Limited Partners' Original Capital Contribution, or (ii)
Sale Proceeds plus all Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement)
previously received equal to their Original Capital Contribution plus a 10% per
annum simple interest return on their Capital Investment from the date of
investment.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, Net Profits (exclusive of Net
Profits from the sale or disposition of Partnership properties) shall be
allocated to the General Partner in an amount equal to the greater of 1% of
such Net Profits or the Partnership Management Fee paid by the
4
<PAGE>
Partnership to the General Partner during such year, and the balance, if any,
to the Limited Partners. Net Losses (exclusive of Net Losses from the sale,
disposition or provision for value impairment of Partnership properties) are
allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners. Net
Profits from the sale or disposition of a Partnership property are allocated:
first, prior to giving effect to any distributions of Sale Proceeds from the
transaction, to the General Partner and Limited Partners with negative balances
in their Capital Accounts, pro rata in proportion to such respective negative
balances, to the extent of the total of such negative balances; second, to each
Limited Partner in an amount, if any, necessary to make the positive balance in
its Capital Account equal to the Sale Proceeds to be distributed to such
Limited Partner with respect to the sale or disposition of such property;
third, to the General Partner in an amount, if any, necessary to make the
positive balance in its Capital Account equal to the Sale Proceeds to be
distributed to the General Partner with respect to the sale or disposition of
such property; and fourth, the balance, if any, 15% to the General Partner and
85% to the Limited Partners. Net Losses from the sale, disposition or provision
for value impairment of Partnership properties are allocated: first, after
giving effect to any distributions of Sale Proceeds from the transaction to the
General Partner and Limited Partners with positive balances in their Capital
Accounts, pro rata in proportion to such respective positive balances, to the
extent of the total amount of such positive balances; and second, the balance,
if any, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, there shall be allocated to the
General Partner not less than 1% of all items of Partnership income, gain,
loss, deduction and credit during the existence of the Partnership. For the
three months ended March 31, 1998, the General Partner was entitled to a
Partnership Management Fee and allocated Net Profits of $18,000. For the three
months ended March 31, 1997, the General Partner was entitled to a Partnership
Management Fee of $18,800 and was allocated Net Profits of $333,900, which
included a gain of $315,100 from the sale of Partnership property.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner made advances
(the "Loan") to the Partnership in cumulative amounts equal to the Acquisition
Fees and the Partnership Management Fees which were paid to the General Partner
or its Affiliates for distribution to the Limited Partners on a pro rata basis
to the extent that Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) was less
than sufficient to distribute cash in amounts equal to the Limited Partners'
Preferred Return (7.5% per annum noncompounding cumulative return on the
Limited Partners' Capital Investment); provided, however, that the maximum
amount advanced to the Partnership by the General Partner for distribution to
the Limited Partners was the amount of Acquisition Fees and Partnership
Management Fees actually paid to the General Partner or its Affiliates. Amounts
advanced bear interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum simple interest, payable
monthly. Repayment of amounts advanced are made only from Cash Flow (as defined
in the Partnership Agreement) if and to the extent it is more than sufficient
to distribute cash to the Limited Partners in amounts equal to the Limited
Partners' Preferred Return and from Sale Proceeds as disclosed above. As of
March 31, 1998, the outstanding balance on the Loan was $1,569,500, which
represents the total amount of the General Partner's current commitment. In May
1998, the Partnership intends to utilize a portion of the proceeds from the
1997 sale of Park Plaza to repay the outstanding balance of the Loan.
Fees and reimbursements paid and payable by the Partnership to Affiliates
during the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were as follows:

</TABLE>
(a) As of March 31, 1998, the Partnership owed $40,200 to the General Partner
for real estate commissions earned in connection with the sales of certain
of the Partnership's properties. These commissions have been accrued but
not paid. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership
will not pay the General Partner or any Affiliates a real estate commission
from the sale of a Partnership property until Limited Partners have
received cumulative distributions of Sale or Financing Proceeds equal to
100% of their Original Capital Contribution, plus a cumulative return
(including all Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) which
has been distributed to the Limited Partners from the initial investment
date) of 6% simple interest per annum on their Capital Investment.
A third party management group provides on-site property management for the
Partnership's property for a fee equal to 3% of gross rents received from the
property. The third party property management group is entitled to a leasing
fee equal to 3% of gross rents received, reduced by leasing fees paid to other
third parties up to but not exceeding the 3% leasing fee.
3. SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION:
On May 31, 1998, the Partnership will distribute a portion of the Park Plaza
Sale Proceeds totaling $6,523,300 or $11.00 per Unit to Limited Partners of
record as of December 18, 1997. For additional information related to the sale
of Park Plaza, see Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements in the Partnership's
Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1997.
<PAGE>
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Reference is made to the Partnership's Annual Report for the year ended
December 31, 1997 for a discussion of the Partnership's business.
Statements contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, which are not historical facts, may be
forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-
looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
One of the Partnership's objectives is to dispose of its properties when market
conditions allow for the achievement of the maximum possible sale price. The
Partnership, in addition to being in the operation of properties phase, is also
in the disposition phase of its life cycle. During the disposition phase of the
Partnership's life cycle, comparisons of operating results are complicated due
to the timing and effect of property sales and dispositions. Partnership
operating results are generally expected to decline as real property interests
are sold since the Partnership no longer receives income generated from such
real property interests. During the year ended December 31, 1997, the
Partnership sold its interest in three of its remaining four properties.
OPERATIONS
The table below is a recap of the Partnership's operating results for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. The discussion following the table should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
appearing in this report.

individual property operating results such as interest income, interest
expense and general and administrative expenses.
(b) Sold Properties includes results from Park Plaza Professional Office
Building ("Park Plaza"), 3120 Southwest Freeway and Carrollton Crossroads
Shopping Center, all of which were sold during 1997.
Net income decreased by $1,144,900 for the three months ended March 31, 1998
when compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease was
primarily due to the gains recorded on the sales of two Partnership properties
during the first quarter of 1997. The absence of results of the Sold Properties
during 1997 was almost entirely offset by the improved operating results at
Indian Ridge and the decrease in interest expense on the Loan Payable to the
General Partner as a result of the partial repayment made during 1997.
Net income, exclusive of properties sold during 1997, increased by $145,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the three months ended
March 31, 1997. The increase was primarily due to the improved operating
results at Indian Ridge and the decrease in interest expense on the Loan
Payable to the General Partner. Also contributing to the increase was an
increase in interest earned on the Partnership's short-term investments which
was due to an increase in cash available for investment.
The following comparative discussion excludes the results of Sold Properties.
Rental revenues increased by $40,700 or 8.3% for the three months ended March
31, 1998 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase
was primarily due to increases in tenant expense reimbursements and base rental
income, which were due to an increase in rates charged to new and renewing
tenants partially offset by a decrease in average occupancy.
Repair and maintenance expenses decreased by $29,700 for the three-month
periods under comparison. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in snow
removal costs resulting from a mild winter.
To increase and/or maintain occupancy at Indian Ridge, the General Partner,
through its asset management and property management groups, continues to take
the following actions: 1) implementation of marketing programs, including
hiring of third-party leasing agents or providing on-site leasing personnel,
advertising, direct mail campaigns and development of property brochures; 2)
early renewal of existing tenants' leases and addressing any expansion needs
these tenants may have; 3) promotion of local broker events and networking with
local brokers; 4) networking with national level retailers; 5) cold-calling
other businesses and tenants in the market area; and 6) providing rental
concessions or competitively pricing rental rates depending on market
conditions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
One of the Partnership's objectives is to dispose of its properties when market
conditions allow for the achievement of the maximum possible sales price. In
the interim, the Partnership continues to manage and maintain its remaining
property. Notwithstanding the Partnership's intention relative to property
sales, another primary objective of the Partnership is to provide cash
distributions to Partners from Partnership operations. To the extent cumulative
cash distributions exceed net income, such excess distributions will be treated
as a return of capital. Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) is
generally not equal to net income or cash flows as determined by generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), since certain items are treated
differently under the Partnership Agreement than under GAAP. Management
believes that to facilitate a clear understanding of the Partnership's
operations, an analysis of Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement)
should be examined in conjunction with an analysis of net income or cash flows
as determined by GAAP. The following table includes a reconciliation of Cash
Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) to cash flow provided by
operating activities as determined by GAAP. Such amounts are not indicative of
actual distributions to Partners and should not be considered as an alternative
to the results disclosed in the Statements of Income and Expenses and
Statements of Cash Flow.

</TABLE>
The decrease in Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of $141,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 when compared to three months ended
March 31, 1997 was primarily due to the absence of Cash Flow (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement) from properties sold during 1997. Partially offsetting
the decrease was the increase in Partnership net income, exclusive of sold
properties, depreciation, amortization and the gain on the sales of properties
sold during the three months ended March 31, 1997, as previously discussed.
The decrease in the Partnership's cash position of $2,306,500 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 resulted primarily from additional investments in
debt securities. The decrease was partially offset by net cash provided by
operating activities exceeding distributions paid to Limited Partners. Liquid
assets (including cash, cash equivalents and investments in debt securities) of
the Partnership as of March 31, 1998 were comprised of amounts held for working
capital purposes, as well as the Sale Proceeds to be distributed on May 31,
1998.
Net cash provided by operating activities continues to be a primary source of
funds to the Partnership. Net cash provided by operating activities increased
by $260,300 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the
three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase was primarily the result of the
timing of the payment of expenses in 1997 at Park Plaza along with the increase
in net income, exclusive of properties sold during 1997 and depreciation and
amortization, as previously discussed.
Net cash provided by (used for) investing activities changed from $9,045,100
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $(2,400,300) for the three months
ended March 31, 1998. The change was due to the receipt of proceeds during the
first quarter of 1997 from the sales of two Partnership properties. Net
increase in investments in debt securities during the comparable quarters
remained relatively unchanged. The investments in debt securities are a result
of the continued extension of the maturities of certain of the Partnership's
short-term investments in an effort to maximize the return on these amounts as
they are held for working capital purposes or for distribution to Partners.
These investments are of investment-grade and generally mature less than one
year from their date of purchase.
The Partnership maintains working capital reserves to pay for capital
expenditures. Approximately $60,000 is projected to be spent at Indian Ridge
during the remainder of 1998. Actual amounts expended may vary depending on a
number of factors, including actual leasing activity and other market
conditions throughout the remainder of the year. The General Partner believes
these improvements and leasing costs are necessary in order to increase and/or
maintain the occupancy level in a very competitive market, maximize rental
rates charged to new and renewing tenants and prepare the remaining property
for eventual disposition.
The decrease in net cash used for financing activities of $249,300 was due
primarily to a decrease in distributions to Partners. The decease in
distributions is the result of the General Partner's adjustment of
distributions to Limited Partners to an amount consistent with the
Partnership's remaining assets and their related earnings following the sales
of three properties during 1997. The decrease was partially offset by proceeds
received during 1997 from the Loan Payable to the General Partner.
On December 18, 1997, a joint venture in which the Partnership owns a 50%
interest completed the sale of Park Plaza. In connection with this sale, on May
31, 1998 Limited Partners of record as of December 18, 1997 will receive a
special distribution of $6,523,300 or $11.00 per Unit. The remaining Park Plaza
Sale Proceeds will be used to completely repay the Loan Payable of $1,569,500
to the General Partner.
The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has contracted for
substantially all of its business activities with certain principal entities
for which computer programs are utilized. Each of these companies is
financially responsible and have represented to management of the General
Partner that they are taking appropriate steps for modifications needed to
their respective systems to accommodate processing data by Year 2000.
Accordingly, the Partnership anticipates incurring no material Year 2000 costs
and is currently not aware of any material contingencies related to this
matter.
The General Partner continues to take a conservative approach to projections of
future rental income in its determination of adequate levels of cash reserves
due to the potential capital and tenant improvements and leasing costs to be
made at the Partnership's remaining property. For the three months ended March
31, 1998, Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) retained to
supplement working capital reserves amounted to $135,000.
Distributions to Limited Partners of Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were declared in the
amount of $296,500, or $0.50 per Unit. Cash distributions are made 60 days
after the last day of each fiscal quarter. The amount of future distributions
to Partners will ultimately be dependent upon the performance of the
Partnership's remaining property as well as the General Partner's determination
of the amount of cash necessary to supplement working capital reserves to meet
future liquidity requirements of the Partnership. Accordingly, exclusive of the
distributions of Park Plaza's Sale Proceeds and Cash Flow (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement) on May 31, 1998, there can be no assurance as to the
amounts of cash for future distributions to Partners.
Based upon the current estimated value of its assets, net of its outstanding
liabilities, together with its expected results and capital expenditure
requirements, the General Partner believes that the Partnership's cumulative
distributions to its Limited Partners from inception through the termination of
the Partnership may be less than such Limited Partners' original Capital
Contributions.
